Wrestling to States: A Cinderella Season (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781439247990)

What does it take for a freshman to be the state high school wrestling champion? While still in eighth grade, Vince Armstrong is challenged by his flamboyant cousin, Rufus, to go for the Indiana State Championship. At first he laughs at the idea, but in his freshman year he catches a glimpse of greatness and begins his quest for the title. His mother is dead, his father is gone, and Vince is left to manage the family business. Meanwhile, his rival is trying to steal his girlfriend, and he has to live with his big bully cousin. Vince shuts out these problems each time he steps onto the mat. With total dedication and an ex-Olympian coach, he and his teammates wrestle their way through a Cinderella season. With his team's chance for the state title on the line, he squares off against the best wrestler in the state.
